hey /k/ I just got my first gun the other day. I was never taught about guns and gun safety when I was a kid. Was never around them, family never had em. My friends are all into guns and stuff and I'm a liberty lover so I decided it was time to get one.

Got a glock 43. Seemed like a perfect gun to carry, just in case. Only issue is that I'm still feeling a little uneasy by having a loaded gun around me. I know that'll go away over time, but is there any tips or anything you guys can tell me thatll make my transitioning to responsible gun owner from being a gunless noob?

>be AK>no bolt catch>no last round hold open>extremely short LOP>no bolt release>shitty charging handle>no forward assist>autistic safety lever>expensive to mod>poor modularityWhy would anyone buy one other than it being and cheap over an AR15 or 300BLK?

Reloading is not legal in this jurisdiction, and necessary supplies are not available.

I understand the Silver Tip is a high stopping power, short range load. However, anyone approaching my property is definitely a threat even at several kilometres range. Which round is the best choice to engage...Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

>>29727053>>29727072I live in Peru, a country with a tough history of terrorism and strict weapons laws. Indeed, the main threat I'm concerned about is Shining Path guerrillas who might want to bother me, as otherwise I live in a pretty remote spot.

Ok so I've been slowly putting together my B.O.B it still has a fair way to go and will probably cost a fair bit. I also want to get a rifle. I was wondering what do you think should take priority the B.O.B or the weapon.

My head I'm leaning B.O.B because you need the ability to survive. But the weapon would offer me defence.

get a fucking .22 rifle. it's cheap and you can carry 1200 rounds of ammo for 10 pounds. .22 out of a rifle will flatline a nigger with a quickness out at 150 yards, and it's easy to shoot. you're mostly going to be shooting varmints for food, and anything too much bigger will ruin the meat.

With things being the way they are, I would go for the rifle before shot gets out of hand. If you avoid overpriced gimmicky bullshit then putting together a B.O.B is pretty easy and consists of shit that's not subject to being banned, restricted or scared into wildy inflated prices.

Nothing in my B.O.B was purchased specifically for the kit, it's mostly shit I already had. I can't really slap together good rifle and a couple hundred rounds of ammo.

In the most recent video of Man at Arms: Reforged they did the Green Destiny sword from Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, which is pretty much just a Chinese Jian. (Video here: http://youtu.be/ObYP1jTJ9MM)

For the sword, they decided to use 1095 and 15n20 for their steels for pattern welding. Obviously, the two steels are used together often because they weld together very easily while at the same time producing a very visible pattern after acid etching. However from what I understand neither steel is a great sword steel; 1095 is too brittle for larger blades because of...Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

Back in the old days, iron was smelted in a primitive kind of forge called a bloomery; effectively you had a bunch of layered iron ore and coal / charcoal; and over many hours (sometimes days) of forcing air through said bloomery, you'd get a heap of 'sponge iron' at the bottom. This was then worked to make an ingot of iron. Sometimes, you'd get ingots of exceptional quality, which were early steels. Medieval ironworkers knew nothing about alloying,...Comment too long.

>>29727145Not op, but that was pretty informative.Even though I knew most of that stuff, it's still nice to hear additional info.I've seen the bloomery technique in action. Always wanted to try it out for myself. But where the fuck am I going to get raw iron ore?
